Hey /g/ ...
I recently got a hold of two e7 2890v2's ( the 15 core , 2.8ghz variety ) .
Problem is they are engineering samples and motherboards are pretty much nonexistent .
So I'm stuck with two expensive paperweights because selling said xeons is considered illegal .
Am i fucked ?
Intel has a return policy on ES chips , but i'm afraid they might just take them , meaning i would have lost a still fairly significant 200$ ...
Has anyone here dealt with engineering sample returns ?

You man the fuck up and buy a motherboard to stick them in

it's not even a question of price. As a consumer it is impossible to find a board that can use them

Pretty sure you can return them to Intel and they give you a commercial-grade equivalent for free

those processors need an lga 2011-1 ( not lga 2011 or 2011v3 ) and a c602j chipset . Support for E7 xeons needs to be specifically noted in the spec sheet . Any old x79 or c602 board won't work.

No it isn't

again , you need an lga 2011-1 c602j board with specific support for e7v2's . This isn't a consumer board
